Active Directory replication monitoring tools

The Active Directory database is replicated between domain controllers. Only the changes are replicated, once a domain controller has been established. Active Directory uses a multimaster model which means changes can be made on any controller and the changes are sent to all other controllers.

The replication path in Active Directory forms a ring which adds reliability to the replication. I am sure all of us agree – this is important and we should check and monitor health of Active Directoryand replication among our AD servers.

For those Administrators who do not want to spend time to have fun with command line tools – you can use last year released GUI tool – Active Directory Replication Status Tool – aka ADREPLSTATUS.
